Redsuedeshoes Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Hi everybody, Ive been lurking on this thread for a while and finally decided to join the conversation. The program for which I am applying at Cal has their interview weekend in late February and decisions in April (according to the website). Of course, that has not stopped me from obsessively checking the results page since the beginning of January. I am currently on a self-imposed ban on checking the application status during the workweek. But, in a moment of weakness, I checked it last night. At least I made it to Thursday night, right? wildviolet 1
PhDreams Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Someone posted an email decision from UCLA on the boards!
Fidelio Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) UCLA GSE decision letters are being mailed to everyone within the next week. Dude.... Good to know they're coming soon. I'll be on pins and needles all week. info received today via grad admin Edited February 11, 2012 by Fidelio
cacao to cacao Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 UC Irvine "applicants will be notified near the end of the month" info received today via grad coordinator (not sure if it applies to MAs since I asked specifically for PhD program I applied to)
darlindukkie Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Hey everyone! I've been a lurkin' and thought I'd join the party (or just commiserate?? ). I I've heard from UCLA on 3 occasions now - an email from POI, an unofficial letter of admission from GSE&IS, and finally-an electronic official letter from the Grad Division. The mailed letter was in a tiny envelope, by the way - so don't assume the worst if you receive a small envelope. Also, I received the official letter just a few days ago, even though the letter itself was dated 01/30. Btw, I applied to UCLA's HEOC, MA program. I've gotten the sense that UCLA isn't the most organized with its communication, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't send everything out this week (even if they intend to). This is the one school that wanted two original transcripts after all....(wtf, can't they just share?). It's such a massive place that it probably takes a day and a half just to get the letter from UCLA's mailbox to USPS. Have you guys heard something? I am tempted to call admission office to ask directly since they haven't answered my emails and I have to make a decision but UCB is a priority option. Grad in Education - I'm not sure if you're still waiting around or not, but the GSE admin staff was very responsive on the two occasions I emailed her. Does anyone know when financial aid information is sent? It's really what I'm most concerned about at this point. Congrats to all those who've received positive news, and best of luck to everyone waiting. And remember, all of the UCs are amazing schools - we're super lucky to have such high quality, public GSE's to choose from!!
bnmca2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Dear UCLA your incremental notification system is giving me an ulcer!
PhDreams Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 I've heard from UCLA on 3 occasions now - an email from POI, an unofficial letter of admission from GSE&IS, and finally-an electronic official letter from the Grad Division. Congrats!!! Did your status change on their website when you received your decision? I've been checking the status of my app online and it gives me this line about how decisions are not made until March.
eisoj5 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I was looking in the Results Survey just now and did a search on Berkeley's GSE...looks like they have notified in March over the last couple of years.
darlindukkie Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Thank you FutureEdStudent12! I received an email from "UCLA Application Decision" with a link to the letter. The link takes you to a different location than the Grad App. In fact, if I login to the application, then my app still say "status: submitted." I'm sure they're still rifling through the apps, and just haven't notified everyone. Best of luck!

ceek Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I was looking in the Results Survey just now and did a search on Berkeley's GSE...looks like they have notified in March over the last couple of years. It seems like that's when rejections go out. I saw an acceptance posted the other day but they didn't specify the program. I still haven't received a letter from the GSE or the Graduate Division. I've been obsessively checking my application status but it seems like that may not even be where the official acceptance is posted if Berkeley does it like UCLA.
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 I just checked my decision on UCLA's website and it almost gave me a heart attack because it went from decisions from 2011 are now available to decisions from 2012 are now available. omg.... but my app still said "no decision has been made on your app." sadness...
Fidelio Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Good God... I didn't even know there WAS a Decision Status page at UCLA. "To date, no decision has been made on your application." Oh well; I guess that's just more admissions crack for the waiting-game pipe.
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Someone on here said that letters from UCLA were going to be mailed out by the end of this week. This has caused me to stalk my mailperson. Not. cool.
darlindukkie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Ceek- I heard from UCB today! got a call from POI! Woot woot!
darlindukkie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Also meant to say - my decision letter is available on the grad application site - it's not in a different location the way UCLA's is. Apparently any recommendations for fellowships for MA students must be prioritized and approved by the grad school.

ceek Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I just got an email to check the site and got my official acceptance from the Graduate Division! Still no word on funding, but I'm so happy! Edited February 18, 2012 by ceek
PhDreams Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! Who's your POI? I'm so excited for you! I'm still waiting on any sort of communication from anyone
edstudent Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Also, has anyone heard from SCS at Berkeley?
